ABOUT THE SITE AND US

In May of 2000 Roni MacLean's daughter Shae-Lynne was born. In the weeks, months and even years following her birth, hospital admissions, doctors appointments, tests, and procedures became the way of life and through it all was one very sick little girl.

Diagnosed with GERD (Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease), nothing seemed to be helping the child. Frustrated and feeling helpless, MacLean started researching the disease shortly after Shae-Lynne's diagnosis, hoping if she learned enough she would find a solution or cure. What she learned instead was that there wasn't one, and that there were many others in Shae-Lynne's situation.

Since she had not been successful in helping her daughter with her GERD, MacLean wanted to reach out and help others going through what they had been through. In 2001 she started Shae-Lynne's personal website at www.infantrefluxdisease.com and included information on reflux and GERD. Because of the overwhelming response MacLean received from this website she knew more needed to be done. She continued researching, started writing and together with her mother (Jean McNeil) Life on the Reflux Roller Coaster was born. This highly acclaimed "must read" was the first book published in the world dedicated entirely to infant reflux.

MacLean's dedication to raising awareness continues and as the initial website expanded, Shae's personal site got moved to it's own domain making way for the original site to continue growing with information on infant reflux and GERD.
